Appenzell became independent of the Abbey of St. Gallen in 1403 and entered a league with the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1411, becoming a full member in 1513. It has been divided since into Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden since 1597 as a result of the Swiss Reformation. The territory of Appenzell as a geographical entity is known as Appenzellerland or as das Appenzell. In political contexts, the two cantons are referred to as beide Appenzell ("both Appenzells"); after the division, the term Kanton Appenzell continued to refer to both half-cantons, although this usage has since become outdated)
